Provision of well balanced rations of food to school children is feasible and desirable, It provides opportunity for at least one nourishing meal a day to a very large class of children whose parents are too poor to provide them with Proper food or those whose mothers are away from home and are unable to get proper food during the noon hour, ‘This last class has been largely augmented of late by the increasing numbers by which women enter in- dustrial life to take the place of those who have gone to the front. In many European countries the school lunch work has been extended as @ patriotic measure--to Ughten the burden of women drafted into the industrial system of war work. It provides a more economical mode of supplying scientifically prepared food to children, avoiding the high cost of individual preparation of food and {ts consequent waste.
